PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

Cyber School Student Analysis and Evaluation Support Contract U.S. Army Cyber Center of Excellence, Fort Gordon, Georgia

Part 1

General Information

1. GENERAL: This is a non-personal services contract to provide Student Analysis and Evaluation Support for the Cyber School, Cyber Center of Excellence (CCoE), Fort Gordon, Georgia. This effort will support the Cyber School in assessing the best qualified Cyber Soldiers and placing those Soldiers in the right military jobs/roles based on assessment results within the Army’s new Cyber Branch. The Government shall not exercise any supervision or control over the contract service providers performing the services herein. Such contract service providers shall be accountable solely to the contractor who, in turn is responsible to the Government.

1.1 Description of Services/Introduction: This requirement is to provide the U.S. Army Cyber School with a qualified Educational Psychologist. The Educational Psychologist shall purchase and administer, the Multidimensional Aptitude Battery –II (MAB-II) and Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-II (MMPI-II) to IET Soldiers. Once tested, the Educational Psychologist shall analyze the results and provide a written report of the results from the assessments with recommendations to Cyber School leadership within 10 working days of administering the assessments listed above. The Educational Psychologist shall develop a 2-hour block of instructions on topics related to “How Students Learn” and “How to Improve Study Habits.” The Educational Psychologist will be required to complete the Foundation Instructor Facilitation Course (FIFC) and facilitate the 2-hour block of instructions mentioned above with all IET courses to include CyBOLC, CyWOBC and 17C AIT. The Educational Psychologist shall provide one-on-one counseling with students that are experiencing difficulties with course material. The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary to perform Student Analysis and Evaluation support as defined in this Performance Work Statement except for those items specified as government furnished property and services. The contractor shall perform to the standards in this contract.

1.2 Background: Cyber School was established to provide trained 17 series personnel (17A, 17C, and 170A) that support the Army’s Cyberspace Operations across USCYBERCOM, ARCYBER, and Cyber Protection Brigade missions. Additionally, the Cyber School has the goal of providing equipment, faculty, and an environment that build Soldiers’ skills and abilities while encouraging a culture of aggressive self-development. As stated in Self Development for Cyber Warriors (Conti, Caroland, Cook, Taylor) "Aggressive self-development is a critical task for the cyber warfare professional. No matter the quality, formal training and education programs age poorly when facing the relentless advance of technology and agile adversaries. Self-development serves as a continuous complement to formal training and fosters the currency and depth of expertise a world class cyber workforce demands."

The structure of the internally developed Cyber School Curriculum course demonstrates this training mentality. The Cyber School training philosophy embraces the adult learning concept by creating an environment that is approximately 80% hands-on and 20% knowledge-based instruction. Students are generally provided a short block of instruction on a high-level concept, such as Public Key Infrastructure, then are assigned associated tasks that build and reinforce knowledge and skill through application. Students are not confined to a particular method of completing a task and are encouraged to think “outside the box.”

1.3 Objectives: Support the proponent office of the Army Cyber School that includes conducting Performance Enhancement Training and student assessments for all Cyber School initial entry courses; assessing student performance, and the cognitive and non-cognitive abilities of individuals serving within the Cyber Corps, as well as those desiring to serve.

1.4 Scope: Provide psychological and academic support to the Cyber School courses to include the 17A-Cyber Basic Officer Leader Course (CyBOLC), 17C- Cyber Operations Specialist Advanced Individual Training (AIT), Cyber Warrant Officer Basic Course (CyWOBC), and other Cyberspace Operations courses as determined by the Army Cyber Commandant. The majority of these courses consist of technical cyber training validated by USCYBERCOM J7, DoD CIO, and the NSA. Personnel assigned to this contract shall assist and support the CCoE personnel and shall utilize and conform to the standards within all applicable regulations and SOPs (i.e. TRADOC REG 350-70 with appendixes). The Government will own all developed products.

1.5 Period of Performance: The period of performance shall be for one (1) Base Year of 12 months and two (2) 12-month Option Year. The Period of Performance reads as follows:

Base Year 24 September 2018 – 23 September 2019 Option Year I 24 September 2019 – 23 September 2020 Option Year II 24 September 2020 – 23 September 2021

1.6.7.14 Eligibility Verification for Employment: E-Verify is an Internet-based system that compares information from an employee's Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification, to data from U.S. Department of Homeland Security and Social Security Administration records to confirm employment eligibility. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security is working to stop unauthorized employment. By using E-Verify to determine the employment eligibility of their employees, companies become part of the solution in addressing this problem. All U.S. employers must complete and retain a Form I-9 for each individual they hire for employment in the United States. This includes citizens and noncitizens. On the form, the employer must examine the employment eligibility and identity document(s) an employee presents to determine whether the document(s) reasonably appear to be genuine and relate to the individual and record the document information on the Form I-9. The list of acceptable documents can be found on the last page of the form. E-Verify is mandatory for employers with federal contracts or subcontracts that contain the Federal Acquisition Regulation E-Verify clause.

NOTE: The government issued CAC is the property of the U.S. Government and shall be returned to the COR upon expiration of the contract, replacement or termination of the contract employee. (CAC card must be turned in to the

The Contractor shall develop procedures covering key control that shall be included in the Quality Control Plan. Such procedures shall include turn-in of any issued keys by personnel who no longer require access to locked areas. The Contractor shall immediately report any occurrences of lost or duplicate keys/key cards to the Contracting Officer.

In the event keys, other than master keys, are lost or duplicated, the Contractor shall, upon direction of the Contracting Officer, re-key or replace the affected lock or locks; however, the Government, at its option, may replace the affected lock or locks or perform re-keying. When the replacement of locks or re-keying is performed by the Government, the total cost of re-keying or the replacement of the lock or locks shall be deducted from the monthly payment due to the Contractor. In the event a master key is lost or duplicated, all locks and keys for that system shall be replaced by the Government and the total cost deducted from the monthly payment due to the Contractor.

The Contractor shall prohibit the use of Government issued keys/key cards by any persons other than the Contractor’s employees.
